Her favorite pastimes included crocheting and gardening. Her family appreciated the delicious meals and cookies she made. She also enjoyed doing crafts and volunteering for her church activities, especially its annual garage sale. Decorating for the Christmas season provided the opportunity to display her vast collection of Santa Claus figurines. Ruth will be remembered as a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
